Yet more special-casing for dual-link ports. :-(

Nit: I think the proper proposition is "on" or "at", not "to".

The tunnel discovery algorithm looks solid to me, so:
Reviewed-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@...ner.de>

When the module is unloaded, tb_stop() currently deactivates all PCI
tunnels.  Is this still a good idea now that tunnels are discovered
on probe?  We could just leave the tunnels in place and rediscover
them when the module is reloaded.  If something was unplugged in the
meantime, pciehp will have disconnected the devices and we should
notice on reprobe that certain tunnels cannot be rediscovered, so no
harm no foul.  Thoughts?

Thanks,

Lukas
